Charlie Adam fires back

It would be easy for us to make an excuse and say we need new players, but the manager feels we already have good enough players to hurt teams

Liverpool's Charlie Adam

The goal-shy Reds have scored just 30 goals in the ­Premier League, despite dominating many of their games.

With eight home draws and one defeat at Anfield in the league, questions are being asked about just how ­Liverpool’s goalscoring fortunes can be turned around.

But Adam is convinced a new hitman is not needed and said: “It would be easy for us to make an excuse and say we need new players, but the manager feels we already have good enough players to hurt teams.

“We have Luis Suarez, Andy Carroll, Dirk Kuyt and Craig Bellamy, so we have quality players up front.”
